Benefits of sugar-free sesame paste

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sesame is sweet in taste and neutral in nature, and has the functions of nourishing blood, moisturizing intestines, clearing breasts, and nourishing hair. It is suitable for treating physical weakness, premature graying of hair, anemia, dry stools, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. symptom. Black sesame seeds have the effect of beautifying the skin and making white hair black. Black sesame seeds are very rich in vitamin E, which can delay aging, moisturize the five internal organs, strengthen muscles and bones, and replenish qi.

Let’s talk about today’s sesame paste, my exclusive invention, suitable for those who are afraid of starch during weight loss. Generally, homemade sesame paste is made by adding sesame powder and other starchy grains such as glutinous rice flour. Pure sesame cannot be cooked into a paste. In addition, for sesame paste to taste delicious, necessary sugar must be added, which also adds extra calories.

Sesame seeds are not low in calories, but they have so many benefits. A pack of southern sesame paste is about 40g. Excluding the starch additives, I estimate that the black sesame seeds used will not exceed 30g. Therefore, when we make our own black sesame paste, we only need 30g of sesame powder for one person, which contains 150-160 calories. As a breakfast, the calories will definitely not exceed the standard. I don’t use any other starchy ingredients to add a thicker texture. What should I use? A banana can be used instead, and the sugar can be omitted. Bananas are already well-known for their slimming effects on intestines, laxatives, and slimming legs. I won’t go into details about the benefits. The key point is that I found that black sesame powder and mashed bananas are a perfect match. The two taste together and are sweet. The temperature is just right, you have to drink it to know how well it matches.
